10 Centavos

Descrizione del dritto	The Ecuadorian national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a condor with spread wings perched atop an oval shield that bears a coastal scene with a steamship on the sea and the snow-capped volcano Chimborazo in the background, surmounted by a radiant sun. The shield is flanked by four national flags and supported by crossed fasces and a cornucopia on each side. The curved legend REPUBLICA DEL ECUADOR runs along the upper periphery, and the date 1919 appears in the lower exergue. A fine beaded border encircles the entire design.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Ecuador contracted its minor coinage to the Philadelphia Mint during this period, a common arrangement for smaller Latin American republics that lacked domestic minting infrastructure. The 1919 date falls during a stretch of relative political stability under the Liberal governments that had dominated Ecuadorian politics since the 1895 revolution, though chronic fiscal instability kept coin production irregular throughout the decade.
